“Chadzilla” documents the process used by the chefs at Adria to create “vodka pills,” alcoholic confections made from a booze reduction and cornstarch.
There are only 2 components to this process… the cornstarch (which serves as a casting mold and as a reactant to the liquid) and the alcohol flavored syrup (which will form a ’shell’ [...]

Serious Eats has started a series of video shorts starring no other than Mario Batali, who is on his way off of Iron Chef and onto the computer LCD.

Poggenpohl, an old furniture brand in Germany, is showing off this concept “Man Kitchen,” built in conjunction with the Porsche Design Group. It looks nice enough, sure, but can you figure out what part of this is “manly” and what is just “modern”?

Lurking underground in the heart of Tokyo’s trendy Roppongi is a true heart of darkness – a members-only club that combines forbidden sex practices with the art of fine dining.
The gist of it is, members pay a hefty fee at the door to be allowed to… have sex with the animal of their choice – [...]

The art of tailgating is something that has always boggled my mind. Sitting outside of a stadium, cooking and drinking (often in the freezing cold) and waiting for a game to start. It is really just glorified line-standing, but regardless, this Gameday Customs trailer will make tailgating that much better. It includes a 27-inch LCD [...]

We’ve been watching No Reservations since the first season, but I just had chance to watch the latest episode set in Hong Kong, and it was damn near perfect. I don’t know who or what they’ve changed around on their production team, but for a show that should be losing some of its edge, it [...]

Watch a man fry cracklins and stuff smoked sausage. Turn off the sound because whatever he has to say is unimportant — this man is processing pork. via [offthebroiler.wordpress.com]

Susie and I have made a bit of a name for ourselves among our friends here in Brooklyn for being BBQ nerds. Which is fine—I make some great ribs; she has a killer pulled pork recipe. But we often try to explain to our friends as they cram meat down their gullets why BBQ is [...]

It has been Dethoner’s ongoing quest to cover all things bacon and I will continue that tradition with these bacon-flavored mints.
Each one of these mints tastes like a delicious slice of crispy bacon with just a hint of mint flavor to give it that extra punch!
They were even able to replicate crispy bacon? Wow, [...]

Now, hard-core foodies are drooling over the prospect of something truly superlative from Spain, at least in price: a salt-cured ham costing about $2,100 per leg, or a cruel $160 per pound. It’s a price believed to make it the most expensive ham in the world. … The 2006 Alba Quercus Reserve (as this pricey [...]

It was 30 years ago yesterday when the king, Elvis Presley, died in the only place appropriate, in the can. In honor of the man, I would like to encourage all to experience a weekend of gluttony, and start it out with the sandwich appropriately titled “The Elvis.”
Ingredients
• Two slices of bread
• Two tablespoons [...]
